Abstract/Summary
This study investigates the preferred counselor role in counseling of a group of students.The study employed the descriptive research design using the survey method. A questionnaire was constructed by the researcher as the data gathering tool. The constructed instrument consisted of 21 statements of counselor responses categorized into three counselor roles: critic, nurturant, facilitative. The instrument was submitted to five (5) DLSU counselor educators for critique and suggestions for improvement and another five (5) counselor educators and practitioners for categorization into the three counselor roles. Subjects of the study were 307 male and female high school students, randomly selected from three urban and three rural member schools of the Davao Association of Colleges and Schools in the Davao region. Only 256 of the 307 respondents were included in the final study. Data analysis entailed computation of percentage to answer the major questions and to facilitate discussion, and Chi-square for hypotheses testing.Results revealed that nurturant counselor role in counseling is the most preferred counselor role by the students under study. This was further established when the respondents were grouped according to sex, educational year level, counseling experience and geographical origin. Chi-square values showed a significant difference only when the students under study were grouped according to year level.
The following are the conclusions of the study: 1. A nurturant counselor role in counseling is a preferred counselor role by the subjects under study. 2. Preference of a particular counselor role in counseling is not linked to geographical origin, sex, and counseling experience. 3. Preference for a particular counselor role in counseling differed with educational year level.
